"George [Miller] really wanted a woman to stand alongside Max, and that was all I knew, and I just thought, 'Whoa, for a woman to stand next to him in that world, that would be pretty f---ing cool.' He was really kind of exploring women in this world at every age and there was something, selfishly, that I thought was almost better than Max. It's very hard for a woman to feel that way when she steps into a world like that."

Mad Max: Fury Road centers on Max, who believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows. Take a look at the new photos below, and stay tuned for more on Mad Max: Fury Road as we get closer to the May 15 release date.

25 years after the murder of her family, a young woman is forced to re-live that tragedy all over again in the international trailer for Dark Places. The thriller does not have a domestic release date in place at this time, but Mars Distribution will release it in France on April 8, with other international territories set to follow. The story is adapted from the best-selling novel by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn.

Dark Places tells the story of Libby Day (Charlize Theron), a woman who, at the age of 7, survives the massacre of her family and testifies against her brother as the murderer. Twenty-five years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event. Told in a series of flashbacks from the points of view of Libby's mother, Patty, and her brother, Ben, Libby is forced to revisit that fateful day and begins to question what exactly she saw - or didn't see - the night of the tragedy.

Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks, Corey Stoll, Tye Sheridan, Drea de Matteo and Sterling Jerins rounds out the supporting cast for Dark Places, which was written for the screen and directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner (Sarah's Key). In addition to the trailer, we also have the poster featuring Charlize Theron. Take a look at the first footage and the one-sheet below, and stay tuned to find out when Dark Places will hit theaters in the U.S.

Earlier today EW debuted its latest magazine cover featuring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron from Mad Max: Fury Road. Now they've released 7 never-before-seen images with the two actors, who star as Mad Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa. We also get a first look at the very pale Nicholas Hoult who plays one of the apocalyptic mutants named Nux.

Check out some of the movie's non-stop action, with Mad Max: Fury Road being described by director George Miller as "a chase that starts as the movie begins and continues for 110 minutes." We get to see Max crucified to the front of a fast moving car in the desert, along with some of the other vehicular damage that willl play out on screen May 2015.

Mad Max: Fury Road: Press

EW has also debuted some of the storyboards from Mad Max: Fury Road, which depict this never-ending car chase. Check it out as Mad Max is muzzled and tied to the hood of a car before being dragged across the cruel landscape of the apocalypse.

It's been thirty-five years since director George Miller visited the apocalyptic waistland of 1979's Mad Max franchise, which spawned the sequels Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in 1982 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. He now returns with a new cast as he enters an amped-up world of chaos and carnage with Tom Hardy taking over the iconic role of Max perfected and originated by Mel Gibson.

Tom Hardy is joined by Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, both of whom spent seven crueling months in the desert of Namibia shooting the action-packed film. About the experience, Tom Hardy explains:

""It was mental in a brilliant way. You have no concrete, no coffee shops. We were in the middle of a sandpit."

Director George Miller offers some insight into the story we'll see play out on the big screen when Mad Max: Fury Road opens summer 2015.

"I wanted to tell a linear story-a chase that starts as the movie begins and continues for 110 minutes. In this crucible of very intense action, the characters are revealed."

Charlize Theron has optioned the novel Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan through her Denver & Delilah production company, with Dakota Fanning attached to star.

The 2012 book chronicles the harrowing journey of the author, a 24-year-old woman who just started a career as a reporter for the New York Post and was six months into her first serious relationship. Out of nowhere, she became psychotic and violent, which lead to a month-long stay in the hospital that she doesn't remember, where doctors were baffled by her mysterious condition and ready to commit her to a psychiatric clinic. When Dr. Souhel Najjar was brought on to examine her, he asked her to draw one simple sketch which helped doctors diagnose her with a new auto-immune disease which caused her body to attack her brain, an illness now thought to be the cause of "demonic possessions" throughout history.

Critically acclaimed and award-winning actress Charlize Theron will take her second turn hosting on May 10. Theron stars alongside Seth MacFarlane in the upcoming western comedy, A Million Ways to Die in the West. The Black Keys will make their third musical guest appearance. The next album, "Turn Blue" is out May 13th and features the single "Fever."

On May 17, the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning Andy Samberg returns to SNL as host. Samberg currently stars in the television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, for which he won a 2014 Golden Globe for his role. St. Vincent will make her musical guest debut. St. Vincent released her self-titled fourth album in February to her highest Billboard chart debut and career-best reviews, with Entertainment Weekly hailing it as "a revelation: bracingly smart, slyly subversive, and sonically Unforgettable."

Production is scheduled to begin next month on the hotly-anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road, director George Miller's apocalyptic reboot. Charlize Theron will play Furiosa, and the actress was seen earlier today in Los Angeles trying to hide her new shaved head look for this action-thriller. Take a look at the actress covering her bald head with a hat in these new shots.

Charlize Theron has signed on to star in and produce an untitled crime thriller for Paramount Pictures. No details were given for her character.

The Killing writer Dan Nowak wrote the screenplay, which centers on a corrupt group of vigilantes. The story was compared to The Departed and last year's hit End of Watch.

Ian Bryce is producing through the first-look deal he signed with Paramount last year. Charlize Theron is producing through her Denver & Delilah production company. Before making the transition to producer, Ian Bryce served as the line producer on Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Pain and Gain, and World War Z.

This project is the latest in a string of projects Charlize Theron has set up as both an actress and producer. She is starring in and producing Gone Girl for director David Fincher, and we reported last week that she is attached as an actress and producer on the Skydance Productions comedy Ladies Night.

Happy Endings creator David Caspe wrote the screenplay, which was developed at Charlize Theron's Denver & Delilah company, along with Beth Kono and A.J. Dix. The story centers on a woman (Charlize Theron) who decides to start a new life in New York City, largely due to her boyfriend's inability to commit to the relationship. She has one final night out on the town with her girlfriends before making the big move.

David Ellison is producing through his Skydance Films production company, which is also providing the financing. A distributor has not been attached yet, although production is tentatively slated to begin in early 2014.

Fred Savage, who became a child star for playing Kevin Arnold in The Wonder Years, made his feature directorial debut in 2007 with Daddy Day Camp. Although Fred Savage hasn't made a feature since then, he is one of the most in-demand TV directors around, directing episodes of shows such as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Party Down, Modern Family, 2 Broke Girls, and David Caspe's Happy Endings, just to name a few.

Ladies Night was released in 2014 and stars Charlize Theron. The film is directed by Fred Savage.

"We are quite excited to have Charlize, Chan, Joe and Dan join us on the show. We are happy to feature them as special guests in our production."

This will be Gordon-Levitt, Radcliffe and Tatum's first time appearing on the Oscar show.

Theron won an Oscar for her leading role in Monster and received her second nomination for her leading role in North Country (2005). Theron starred in 2012's Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Tatum, who starred in five films of 2012, including Magic Mike, 21 Jump Street and The Vow, will next be seen in Side Effects, due out this week, and White House Down, due out this Summer.

Gordon-Levitt had a very busy year, with roles in The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, and the Best Picture nominee Lincoln. He most recently starred in Don Jon's Addiction, which he also wrote and directed, and which premiered at Sundance last month.

Radcliffe starred as the title character in the Harry Potter series, which is the highest grossing film series of all time. In 2012 he starred in The Woman in Black, and this year will be seen in Kill Your Darlings, Horns.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide. For more information go to Oscar.com or download the official Oscars app.

The story is based on the Gillian Flynn novel, which centers on a young woman who survived the massacre of her entire family when she was just seven years old, testifying in court that her brother was the killer. 25 years later, the woman is sought by The Kill Club, a secret society that is obsessed with notorious crimes, to determine what really happened that fateful night.

Gilles Paquet-Brenner (Sarah's Key) is directing from his own adapted screenplay, with Stéphane Marsil producing. No production schedule was revealed.

Gillian Flynn also has the adaptation Gone Girl, based on her novel, set up at 20th Century Fox. We reported last month that David Fincher is in talks to direct that drama.

The film centers on a farmer, who backs out of a gunfight with an outlaw and watches his girlfriend leave him. He goes on to meet the wife of the villionaus outlaw that provides him a chance to redeem himself by giving him shooting lessons. He ends up falling for the woman and gets himself deeper in trouble when the criminal comes back to claim his wife.

Charlize Theron will be playing the wife of the outlaw. Seth MacFarlane is starring and directing from a script he co-wrote with Ted's Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. His role in the film has not been confirmed.

Scott Stuber will be producing with the comedian. Production is expected to begin this May.

Lady Vengeance is the story of a woman who for reasons of her own completes a prison term for a murder she did not commit, reemerging to punish the killer, and avenge the dead. Here's what writer-producer William Monahan had to say about his take on the story.

"This will be very American - and very unexpected. Park is a genius; it's the Everest of adaptations and I've got blood in my teeth to do it."

A dramatist, director and novelist, William Monahan recently completed the screenplay for The Gambler for Martin Scorsese at Paramount, and Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. He will next direct Mojave, an original thriller. He won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese, which earned four Oscars, including Best Picture. His production company, Henceforth Pictures, has a number of feature and television projects in development, including a screen adaptation of his first novel, Light House: A Trifle, and "The Throwaways", a New Yorker piece by journalist Sarah Stillman.

We first reported on this project back in December 2010, when Kevin Macdonald was attached to direct. The comedy is described as an, "affectionate deconstruction" of an Agatha Christie-style whodunit, which centers on an American couple traveling overseas.

James Vanderbilt (Total Recall, The Amazing Spider-Man) wrote the screenplay and is producing alongside Beau Flynn, Tripp Vinson, James D. Stern, and William Shively.

John Madden most recently directed The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, the surprise indie hit that has taken in over $100 million worldwide so far.

It certainly has been a Prometheus-filled week, with the first trailer debuting yesterday, in anticipation of its June 8 release. Actress Charlize Theron recently spoke about her character in Ridley Scott's sci-fi tale, revealing that she plays one of the villains.

"No, I actually don't play the heroine in it, that's Noomi Rapace. I play somewhat of a villain in it. She's not a believer, she's not a scientist, she is the red tape that everyone has to go through. She's working with the company that's sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act. She's more quiet thunder."

When asked if there will be a chest-bursting scene like in Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien, the actress dropped a subtle hint.

"Maybe! I mean if you're a Ridley Scott fan and you love the genre, then you're going to be happy. You're going to be very, very happy."
